I signed up recently to AyosDito.ph because I was hoping I could buy myself something for my birthday. Actually, I was really hoping that on my birthday this year, I could finally do one of the long-outstanding items in my to-do list, and that is – “buy laptop.” Yes, I was really looking forward to [...]

Last year, thinking of what to do for my birthday, a strange force “enveloped” me and I recorded a video of myself singing and uploaded it on YouTube! (and [...]

To launch or not to launch? That is the question. Obviously, my choice definitely is TO launch. However, it is not that easy, really. Or is it? Okay, so I dreamed. I worked. I nurtured the dream, and now it is a reality. The book, REFLECTION, is real, even though I had to pinch myself [...]

This will be our fourth Earth Hour. We started participating in this exercise the first time we heard about it in Earth Hour 2008, and then again in Earth Hour 2009, and last year’s Earth Hour 2010. I learned that we only missed one year, as Earth Hour only started in 2007 in Sydney in [...]

I have but one goal for 2011 as far as writing and blogging is concerned – to get my own book published. It was in 2009 when I got a taste of how it was to be part of a printed book via Inspirational Thoughts and Stories from Blogger All Over the World, and again, [...]
